Twitter has said it will remove images and videos of dead people at the request of immediate family members.
In a crackdown on gory and upsetting photographs on the service, Twitter said it would consider removing images of deceased individuals taken "from when critical injury occurs to the moments before or after death".
However, it said it would take into account the public interest of any content and warned that it may not comply with all requests.
On Tuesday, following the beheading of American journalist James Foley, the White House contacted social networks asking them to remove videos of his death.
Twitter declined to say whether it had also had a request from Mr Foley's family.
But Google's former public policy chief Andrew McLaughlin warned the photos could have an important news value.
